    I need some 4' lights...

    90 gallon gallon FOWLR. Anybody got anything laying around they care to sell?Doesn't need to be expensive,or high wattage or even very pretty because it will be under the hood. Figured I'd try here first before shopping elswhere. Thanks, Fatz

    New star fish....I need some thoughts on this one..

    When I say new,I mean brand new. This is a baby. He might fit on a pencil eraser with his points maybe reaching the edges.Maybe. I added a a CC star fish about a month ago.Yesterday i see this guy. A wee little thing,on the glass. No new rock in months so I'm guessing offspring? Two arms are...

    Next fish??

    Sup guys?Its been a while. Heres the tank:I promise it does not glow in the dark,its just the way my cheap camera makes it look. All is well...I think the only thing I've added over the last month or so is a Chocolate chip star fish.Cool fella too.Very active for a slow moving creature...

    Sadly...my gups are no more

    This is a tick odd. I had three male gups in the 29.They had been there for many monthes. Over the last few weeks I noticed one was a little bloated but otherwise fine.The others looked great. I used to breed gups many years back as a hobby and I chose these carefully.They were gorgeous fish...

    Skimmer issues

    I have the coralife 125 on my 90...as many of you know I love it. But yesterday the collection cup started ti fill quickly.Had I not caught it,which I barely did,it would have been a disaster for the carpet (its a hob). It was as though the output had been over corrected,forcing flow to the...

    Diy python complete...

    Well its not quite as functional as the python because it does not create suction...but once the flow is established it drains to the sink like a champ. Its basically just pvc,two pcv ball valves,a faucet adapter and a long run of tubing. Some pvc glue,thread tape and a saw for the pvc are the...

    My tang has issues...or a crab fetish....perhaps both

    The thing is my yellow tang flashes...quite a bit.Its not constant,but when its on his mind he gets after it pretty good. Somtimes going from one side or the tank to the other hitting all the rock along the way.Othertimes just bumping the pvc pipe then backing up and bumping it...

    Help me pick me next fish.

    The 90g has been up for a few months now.Testing at zero regularly. Right now I only have two fish.One clown and one yellow tang and I'm looking for suggestions as to what to add next. There are also some snails and crabs. About 80lbs of live rock and no coral yet,but I will be adding some so...

    An easy one I think...

    Stuck to the glass.Little white "things".Oval in shape.There were two groups of three for two days.Now there are more...all on the glass...Or I should say I don't notice em anywhere else. I bumped the first group with the algea brush to gauge the reaction,but they held fast..stuck on there...

    Crabs in a reef tank ok?

    I currently have a fo/lr 90g.My clean up crew consists of crabs and snails.I have about five or six small blue legged and six or seven larger hermits. Is this going to be a problem when I add coral?

    TDS and refractometers on ebay

    I have many of each on ebay with good "buy it now " prices and pretty good shipping too...havn't even looked at auctions very close yet. But never having owned either I'm wondering if quality is a major issue?Or are these pieces of equipment so basic in function that they will be trust worthy...

    Ro/Di quality issues...and a few other questions..

    Let me try to keep this short. After my tank had been up for about 6 weeks I guess and testing @ zero for everything after a slight ammonia spike early on I decided to change some water.Mostly because I hadn't and wanted to see if RODI would help with my algea issues since I started with tap...

    RO/DI unit question

    Ok I have this at home now: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=85303 All in all I think its going to work out well.But I'm a litte lost on something. The question is about the "drain". The unit has six independent filters in all.The "drain water" leaves after the first four...

    Rock for filtration

    I read this a lot...well I read a lot period and this comes up a lot. Heck I may have even asked this before,but why do people believe that live rock helps in the filtration department?I just can't get my head around the idea. What if anything does it filter out of the water?I know it provides...

    Is there an algea "ladder"?

    I've been hearing something here and there and thought I'd key it in.... Some people believe its diatoms then bubble then hair then cyano ect...(just guessing the order)....Something all new tanks go through.A progression of algea propagation it seems, as though getting past one leads to the...

    What does coraline look like in the beginning?

    Some of my rock has taken on a light green look. My seed rocks are mostly green with some purple...I'd guess around 75% green with the rest purple. Does it come in faint,or is it small spots of deep color? Thanks as always,

    Hair/spider web like stuff coming from "stems" on

    One of my live rocks has short lttle brown stems on it.On occasion they "shoot out" a thin string out into the tank.One end stays attached and the other just floats around.The longest i have seen is about a foot long,more often then not they are just a few inches. Also,most of the time they are...

    Micro bubbles question

    After the addition of my skimmer I now have little bubbles.They started pretty much right away,but now there are more....I'm have to fool with the bubble box as reefbound suggested. The question is....are these little bubbles a problem?I mean besides the "hazy look".

    I know the more the better. I know 10x total volume/hr is required. I know more is prefered. What I don't know is why...or why exactly....what happens in a power outage that brings quick death?Whats the issue with .. say 5x total volume per hour?I'm honestly asking because I just don't...
